Application tiled July 9, 1888. Serial No. 279,429. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, PHILIP BOSCHE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Philadelphia, in the county of Tuscarawas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buggy-Boots; and I do hereby declare that the following` is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and iigures of reference marked thereon, in which Figure l is a View of a portion ot' a buggybox, showing ,the boot open. Fig. 2 is a seetional View ot a buggy-box, showing a part ot' the boot-tframe and one of the retainingsprings propre-ly attached. Fig. 3 is a View showing a small portion ot' the boot-trame with one ot' the bars attached thereto, and also a slight modication of the retainingspriug. Fig. -t is aview showing construction ot' the bend inv the boot-frame. Fig. 5 is a Yiew showing the construction ot' the corners ot' the boot-iframe.

'lhe present i nreut ion has relation to bug boots; and its nature consistsin the dilt'er parts and combination ot parts lureinal'ter described, and particularly pointed out. in the claims.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the iigures ot the drawings.

In the accom I 'ianying drawings, A represents the buggy-box, which may be ot' the t'orm shown, or it may bc of any other desii-cd form, reference being had to attaching the boot-frame To the boot-trame B are piyotally attached the bars C, said bars bein g located substantially as illustrated in the drawings. The t'ront or inner ends of the bar C are held in. proper position by means ot' the staples u. The front or inner ends of the bars C are provided with the notches or recesses b, which are for the purpose of engaging the staples o, as illustrated in Figs. l and 2. To the front or inner ends of the bars C arc attached the springs D, said springs being substantially of the form shown, and, as shown, The front or inner ends of these springs D are so adjust-ed that they will come below the staples a., and are so adjusted for the purpose of forcing the bars C downward and insuring the recesses h to engage the staples a and hold the boot-frame B in an elevated position, as illustrated in Figs. l and Vhen it is desired to close the frame I3, the rear end of said frame is pressed or forced downward, thereby disengaging the recesses Z) from the staples o, when the frame B is automatically closed by means of the springs D. The outer or rear ends of the springs D are attached tothe framel?, by means ot' the eyes c or their equivalents.

For the purpose ot' providing a strong trame the ends at the .rear corners ot' said trame are provided with the groove d, which receives the metal plate E, said metal plate being iirst folded, as illustrated in Fig. 5, when the mitcred grooved ends are placed together and the metal plate E folded over the corner, as illustrated in said Fig. 5, and secured in that position by means ol nails or their equivalents.

For the purpose oi' l'oriningastrongaml durable bend in the frame B the metal plate F is securely attached, substantially as illustrated in Fig. 4t. The plate F is for the purpose ot strengthening the frame B at the point Gr where the frame is cut in order to make the bend. It will be understood that the frame B is to be properly hinged to the box A.

In Fig. 3 a slight mmlilication ot' the spring attachment is shown, which consists in providing the spring-bar II, said bar being riveted to the front or inner end ofthe bar C, and the spring proper attached to the springbar ll, substantially as shown in Fig. 3.

Haring now fully described my invention, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

l. The combination of the buggy-box A, having hinged thereto the frame B, the bars C, pivotally attached to the frame B, the recesses b, adapted to engage the staples a., and the springs D, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The combination of the buggyJooX A, hereunto Setmy hand in the presence of two having hinged thereto the frame B, mtered Witnesses.

,K ends of the frame B, provided with the grooves A Y '1 d, and the metal plates E, adapted to be PHILIP BOSQUE' folded over the ends of seid frame B, Suo Witnesses: stantially as and for the purpose Speeed. E. A. C. SMITH, In testimony that T Claim the above I have Y F. BOND.
